The cat is said to have been brought to Europe by Roman soldiers from Egypt because it ate rats and harmful insects, so Italian farmers were happy with the cat and then the cat spread its legs to the rest of Europe.
Hundreds of years later, in the thirteenth century AD, Pope Gregory IX issued a fatwa declaring that the cat was the devil's chile and the black cat was especially evil, so it should be dealt with. As a result, the Catholic world of Europe became hostile to the cat. Cats dwindled, and rats and insects grew.
When the plague broke out in Europe in the mid-fourteenth century and devastated settlements, the impression was spread that the plague was spreading rats. So once again the memory of the cat began to haunt. Cats began to be imported from Asia, and Italian merchants found a new source of income.
Since then, it is said, the people-friendly cat's eco-friendly reputation has been restored in Europe. Research later revealed that rats became infamous for free. In fact, flies and lice played a major role in the spread of the plague. Whichever animal she sat on, she would become an envoy of the plague.
Listen to another story. Nine years after the communist revolution in China, a great leap forward was made for rapid industrial and agricultural development from 1958 to 1962 under the direction of Chairman Mao Zetuang. During the campaign, four enemies were targeted in the jihad against famine and disease. That is, rats, flies and mosquitoes spread diseases and birds eat grains, so all four should be eliminated.
The whole nation followed. The birds came the most. Pots were played everywhere and they were chased away so that they could not sit anywhere and fall down exhausted. At that time, China's population was 60 million. If every citizen had killed even one bird, then 60 million birds would have perished. But due to declining bird populations, the number of pests damaging crops became out of control the following season. The locusts became lions more than ever. It was as if the famine had intensified. About 1.5 crore people died of starvation.
So two years later, in 1960, it was announced that the birds should be spared because they are not enemies of the grain, but people-friendly because of eating insects. In his place, Lal Beg was put on the anti-people list.
Millions of new birds were imported from Mongolia and the Soviet Union to reduce the environmental imbalance created by limiting bird populations. But it took many years for the effects of the famine to subside.
Although Pakistan was won by politicians at the expense of politics, a few years after the acquisition, even more patriotic uncles and aunts than Jinnah came to the conclusion that the biggest obstacle to the country's development is politicians. And that politicians are not good or bad, they are just politicians. Therefore, this earth-hostile class should either be killed with the spray of laws or locked up in forced cages established since the colonial era or run away from the country.
So all sorts of tactics were used, including all sorts of sanctions, punishments and life-threatening false-true tactics. In the last seventy-three years, four open politicians and dozens of covert campaigns have been launched. In these campaigns, the vicious fistulas were not destroyed, but a good number of eco-friendly politicians were wiped out.
Today, everyone, including those who call the political genocide a great national achievement, is acting in amazement, asking each other why this land has finally become mentally barren. Why is the field of sight, the intellectual turmoil and the new insects of every kind and the economy constantly under he attack of desolate locusts?
What to do now? Not even the season for making new cheese. The patterns created in the controlled environment of past and present laboratories may look like politicians, but they are foreign to the natural environment and the natural environment is foreign to them.
Some political plants have been imported at high prices from time to time to fill this gap, but they either sucked a little bit of leftover water underground or turned out to be odorless, tasteless, fruitless shrubs.
Even if the farming of organic politics is started from today, it will take a generation to produce a fresh crop of intelligent politicians. There is a solution, just as the Europeans eventually had to be convinced of the usefulness of cats and the Chinese had to be convinced of the usefulness of birds. In the same way, our political carpenters will have to take off their ego caps and leave the artificially generated politicians in the natural environment of the Political National Park for a while. So that at least their next generation can survive on their own in this climate.
Otherwise, keep showing your Hippocrates and the masters while swinging from one tree to another.
